PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is visiting the Pease Air National Guard Base in Portsmouth to discuss the possibility that it will be home for a new line of air refueling tankers.

Last month, the Air Force announced that Pease — home to the 157th Air Refueling Wing — was one of five finalists to receive the new KC-46A tanker.

Air Force officials recently visited Pease to start assessing the base for receiving the tanker.

Shaheen is visiting the base Tuesday morning.

The refueling wing was honored last month by the Air Force for outstanding service.
